Relaxing Only a and b Lattice Parameters While Fixing c in VASP

#1 Post by farah_shahzadi » Fri Jun 07, 2024 7:43 am

I am working on a project where I need to relax only the a and b lattice parameters while keeping the c parameter fixed. Could anyone advise on how to set this up in VASP?

Thank you for your assistance!

Best Regards

Something like LATTICE_CONSTRAINTS might be useful? (wiki/index.php/LATTICE_CONSTRAINTS)

Dear svijay,

It seems that the official vasp implementation is not as flexible and powerful as the following implementation:
